Readers’ Reactions
to the original publication of this Trilogy as a single Novel
titled The Rising:

“This novel imagines
what might actually occur the day after tomorrow. It should be read
today—while there is still time to avoid catastrophe from global
warming.” — Bruce Babbitt, Secretary of the Interior 1993-2000,
Latham & Watkins LLP, Washington, D.C.

“Pollock and Seybold
have created a fascinating cast just as they have skillfully woven a
complex plot. This is a novel worth reading.” — Gerald Haslam,
PhD., Author of Straight White Male, Workin’ Man Blues,
and Coming of Age in California; dubbed “the quintessential
California writer” by “The Californians.”

“I dare you to put
down The Rising.” — Philip Gagnon, Artist, Oregon.

“We have poor vision and our friend Joanna read it to us. We became
so riveted by the drama that daily after breakfast, three voices
echoed, ‘Well, shall we read?!!!’ It deserves wide distribution,
for it is truly a significant story.” — Jessica Danson &
Eileen Lungee, Arizona.
